  • The world will be living under dar al Islam and Europeans will become aborigines in their own countries

  • in 2050, the world will be a giant smoking ball of shit, set on fire by the inevitable nuclear wars between Russia, China & USA over the remaining natural resources which the human population is consuming far faster than the planet can produce. Not to mention... FOOD to feed the 10+ billion population by then.

  • ill be 52 in 2050!? Awesome! Maybe I have Grandchildrens with beautiful wife and 4 Kids!

  • Ill be 60 in 2050 :)

  • ill be 99 in 3000

  • ill be 49 in 2050

  • @pspmaster64 ill be 48 in 2050

  • ill be 58 in 2050 :o

  • Things will be free in the future.

  • did you know the days are getting hotter in the summer and the days are getting colder in the winter.

  • R& D is meanngless, only the naive will bother to try....

  • @pxavier76 I hate to admit it, but I'd say that you are 98%+ correct on that if you dont include the big boys and girls,(Bell labs, Standard oil, GE and many others. They can afford to improve their products.

  • What'll people do when there'll not be technology??

  • @Bufurzone All our energies will be focused on other things. People and their priorities will change. Would dinosaurs still be here with or without the asteroid? Nah, they require too much food I think. I posted this to steer away from mud slinging.

  • @newage4energy dinosaurs would definitely still be here.

    They're one of the most successful organism to ever walk the earth.

    [Literally dozen of million of year reign]

    [Unless you count bacteria, some ocean life (fish, crabs, and squid like creatures)]

  • USA will be a third world country if we keep doing what we are doing now, In fact it's beginning,

    The new Super Powers will be China, Germany, and Turkey

  • @KnightxxArrow Germany? Turkey might be a powerful country, but never a superpower. China is the only possible superpower

  • I hope that Whites are not a dying race. I don't think its fair to abandon them and reject them like some terrible past. They should have a future too. Just like non-whites. I wish this dumb 2050 thing is wrong.

  • @CoreyStudios2000,Shut up you racist moron. I hope racist fucks like you don't exist by 2050.

  • @98bigbutt Not trying to be racist. Just saying. I respect you. Just trying to tell you the problem with overpopulation. Not trying to hurt your feelings.

  • @CoreyStudios2000,Because what you said there did sounded racist. If you didn't mean to,I apologize.

  • @98bigbutt How is a white man not wanting his people to be a dying breed racist? Do you want YOUR race to be a dying breed? Usually it's racist to WANT a race to be a dying breed. Think. I know you apologized but too many people are too damn eager to attack/cry racism without thinking. That shit has to end now.

  • @joelholtzman,Look pal by 2050,I'll be 70 years old,do you think by that I'm going to care about who's race is going to be extinct? By that time,I'm going about 2 things-One my Social Security check,Two,Going to my medical appointments. If you're not a racist,then why do you care about the white race will be extinct?

  • Comment removed

  • I'll be 58 in 2050.

  • @GoddessAriana,I'll be 70 in 2050.

  • @jidwoaini

    I feel sorry for you. You can't say you were born in the most influential century in human history. Instead you have to say you were born in the century our once great human civilization crumbled and fell...

  • wtf hair 0:15

  • ill be 45 in 2050 wow thats crazy

  • @plym0uth2 so you're like 6???

  • @BlackandPunkStar no i meant 56 lol

  • The truth is there's no future, I'm not even sure we will be alive in 2020 for many reasons.

    Lack of unpolluted water, lack of food, too many people on Earth, extinction of insect/animals required to survive(Bees) etc...

  • @Darkpirater

    hey Mr Psychosis, get back to your corner and do the thing where you move back and forwards.

    "the truth"

    cmooon. My New Age Alarm is ringing like crazy. Shoo!

    "not even sure we will be alive in 2020"

    WE? You're talking about 7 billion you nutcase.

    Tough times doesn't equal extinction. Far from.

    If anything, tough times would be a "healthy" correction paving way for new generations, which "overpopulation" and "lack of food" should imply.

    Not that I believe it's needed atm.

  • ppl that say we will die by than wrong ppl say world be great and incredible yes very good awester anything can happen flying car can happen in 2050

  • i can tell you 2050 iam like 48 years old

  • it will be a toxic biologically deprived planet, no healthy environment no future. fuck living in 2050.

  • islam will take over world lol xD

  • @DrEthre mexicans will take over

  • @DrEthre then China will be the last standing one against islam

  • @DrEthre ISlam won't in fact in my analysis , Even if they did , they will have to change their view in order t survive on planet Earth ..... they will have to make Technology , Research Science , Accept Evolution and find the mysteries of the universe .....

    What does such knowledge lead to ? A spirituality existence of god , or just plain atheism ......

    Even if Islam took the world , After 1000 years ,Islam will not be Islam anymore If that is the human race wishes to live

  • dose this mean humas will get more advanced tech and become lazy by making the thec do the work fro them ?

  • economies as follows:

    China

    U.S.

    India

    Brazil

    Mexico

  • @carolina91Brz You cross out JAPAN and GERMANY and put in INDIA and MEXICO? You're economically retarded

  • the future in 2050 will not look like we imagine it now. just like the year 2000 was not like people in 1960 have imagined. they thought there will be flying cars in 2000 but this thing didn't happen. then all the things we imagine for 2050 will not happen. and people in 2050 will laugh at us and at our imagination just like we laugh at imagination of people in 1960.

  • @krystal3091 What you say is very true, but I think technology is progressing faster than in previous years. People are recognizing what it can really do for us if we take it its limits. Let's hope they take tech to its limits carefully lol.

  • @krystal3091 Probably true but one thing is for sure: by 2050, there will be some huge changes around the world: Imagine what will happen to the people of Hawaii, Indonesia or Netherlands? Sea level rises and more and more people will move to the inlands. There will be too many humans in the inlands...it's scary

  • @krystal3091 not true can happen u dont know

  • ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZ­ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzz

  • ( link) youtube.com/watch?v=VVjSmK_AfJ­s

  • @sabbathcrazy IBM are nazis? That's about 400 000 people you're accusing...

  • freemasion company

  • I want an XBox 1800

  • You know, in 1970 these 'scientists' said in 30 years time there would be flying cars and laserguns and so on.

    But now we are in the year 2010 and almost nothing is changed and it will never change

    So think about that!

  • @superjpmaster No, actually, they didn't say that at all.

  • @superjpmaster um actullay all of what u said has already come to pass so yeah when these guys talk about the future their pretty much on the money.

  • @superjpmaster Wow...I mean WWWOOOOWWW...You really can't see all that has changed over the last 30 years? I don't even know what to say...PCs didn't exist in 1970 (eliminating all internet functions and gaming), MRIs, cell phones, kevlar vests, rare-earth magnets, object/language recognition(my cell-phone hasn't misinterpreted a single one of my commands yet), portable music players of any kind, thousands of different synthetic materials(carbon fiber for example). The list goes on and on...

  • @superjpmaster u worry too much

  • @superjpmaster lol almost nothing is changed? retard :))

  • I love this stuff. Like we've ever been able to predict this sort of thing. 15 years ago everything was going to be done in Virtual Reality (when have you heard that phrase recently?) 25 years ago the future would have flying cars and a fax machine in every room. Nobody talked about the internet, and if they did certainly nothing (NOTHING) like it is now.

    It's laughable (though fun) to try to predict what the world will be like.

  • @brycepunk Actually, Ray Kurzweil predicted the rise of the internet, among other things.

  • wow such bullshit. chip implants will fuck with your DNA. Because DNA is already a nano technology beyond their understanding and ability to mess with!!!

    Yippie Ki-Yay!

  • I used this video for my ESL class in Lima, Peru. Thanks

  • oooooo irl be 55 XD

  • what about penis enlargement

  • Un jour, l'humanité périra

    Un jour, elle s'éteindra

    Pourtant, bien avant, la vérité sera révélée

    Devant 9 milliards d'humains médusés

    Devant 9 milliards d'humains désespérer

    N'ayant jammais réussi à changer un futur annoncée..

  • I do hope there is some sort of cloning before i die becaus ei dotn want to lol,i could live for ever

  • I reccon in 2050 that the world will be in ruins because of atom bombs and most people will die because of radiation

  • the WOW effect of the future we will only experience from movies.. cant explain but,, i think its true.. or if they invent a time machine,,

  • hopefully they can re create all types of organs and also give people an entire new back system, for peoplw who cant walk etc.

  • SAY FUCK NO 2 Implants

  • I believe this will happen. I will see this when im 50. Look how far we have come from 1950. In now 2010 if we could go back to someone in 1950 lol i would tease them with my ipod touch and laugh at their black and white tvs! muahahah

  • @macmerith in my house we had a black and white tv in the early 80s.....

  • i have seen nanobots synthesised in labs in my post doc Do not believe the haters............the end of many diseases is coming in next 20-30 years with the funding

  • @3tangle3 -with the funding. Yeah :/ I'm never quite sure how to feel about it when some one says that.

  • @SkyFoxCode we have the effort...we do lack funding...the science is easy

  • no RFID

  • Funny I just dreamt about sticking a video/audio transmiter into the head of each presidents in the world, sounds harsh but there is no cheating with the ppl who vote and watch what happens, This is a unique job in the world, beeing the one leader should cost dedication. Just not to be a complete dick this should turn itself off in certain settings, you know what I mean. We all dream crazy shit that cant be. until the time pass and it seems genius instead of crazy, aint that crazy ?!

  • It's a black future where chaos theory has been surpassed and where science is rejuvenated far beyond what was thought today.

  • no tracking devices, nano bots only please

  • Wow 2050 I should be leaving the Solar System for a near star. For real!

  • Comment removed

  • @NickyAmerica i agree with1 2 4 cant say 5 cause just how high is that window?, but yes there will be a epic global conventional war,the only prob is china defeat, we screw a huge part of global production/commerce/time do something better than war and russia is epically piss at the west. vice versa and china would be epically pissed at the west

  • Window of a Rual house.

    Which would probably be 2-3 stories.

  • @NickyAmerica you can probably live, but i think ur leg will be gone

  • Yay :D

  • Global warming?...

  • Yes, That Fake Bullshit that "Scientists" are craming down our throuts.

  • Comment removed

  • glitter iz glitter & dirt iz dirt! money talkz & the poor people will eat shit but the rich will soon enough recieve theirs. Sorry to say, & we will destroy ourselfz.

  • we should all just get fuckin looped and listen to some folk music.

  • These Scientists have heavy technical visions...

  • @Zoza15

    I'll be 76 years old by then.

  • Whe all getting old fucks dude, But the Point is that this vision is only ment for the Newest of the Newest generation

    ... In fact we are the ancestors that leaving a key behind and its up to them to proceed it in their advantage..

    But hell, the stuff they are saying is out of my knowledge..

  • me 2.How ever our generation will most likely be gone by then from,smoking,toting,snorting,p­oping,shooting,drinking,chewin­g,etc.

    At least thats what i think and these are just some of my vices.

  • omfg stupid devices planted into people fuck them

  • I'm sure a lot is possible. Problem is, i.m.o., that capitalism is:

    - needed to finance R & D (invest)

    - will frustrate the process (profit)

    For getting a reasonable return on investment, inventions will be introduced slowly.

  • same comment like thegr8bigm0uth

    XD

  • i would like to know some of the bad things about 2050 so we can beware

  • It's not hard to find predictions of "bad things", if that's what you want. The internet is full of people predicting the end of the world, to the point where it is boring. Most of the predictions of doom are wildly exaggerated and unrealistic. A *realistic* vision of the future is a positive one, but such positive news is not much portrayed in fiction or movies, because, as one guy there said (5:11), Hollywood politically tends to be anti-technology - as are many people in the arts and media.

  • People only predict bad things because the majority of people are fucking dumb.

  • People only predict bad things because cause they want you to fear the unknown and remain stupid

  • I've always though that, but I've never been able to verbalize it that well.

  • well, actually the future is 100% going to look quite grim for the non rich. After the NWO is established there will be EXTENSIVE control over civilians, and lots of depopulation to keep a populace control.. most media like movies and news is simply material they put out to entertain (distract) the masses and condition the mind to assume the future outlook will be a more advanced version of today. truth is the freemasons are gonna let shit hit the fan.

  • well id say probly more flus viruses and stuf i am really hoping that by 2050 they will have a cure for everything so yeh

  • I'd like to see ppl more worried about feeding other people then themselves and more worried about filling their own soul rather then others.

    Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.

  • we do help people in need, what are you talking about? We can't dedicate all of our time to just helping people with rubbish government who spend the money the receive to bid for a World Cup Football Tournament.

  • You don't even know what's wrong do you?

    "There are thousands hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root."

    "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson

  • "Really distinguished IBM scientist" ?!

    Excuse me, but IBM don't exactly have the best record of predicting the future. There was an IBM CEO in the 1950s, I forget the guy's name but he said something along the lines of "I can see there being a world market for maybe five computers." Well, a little TOO conservative there. Mind you, he wasn't alone. We ARE living in the future - the average computer nowadays has more processing power than the best superpower that was around even 20 years ago!

  • so exciting! But at the same time scary and a bit sad.

  • lol haha

  • Yes, to some degree here and there, but over all, it has done the precise opposite of what you just suggested. People now have the power to freedom of knowledge, something everyone deserves.

  • internet=free info...free info=smarter people...smarter people= NO YOU...

  • surely mans ultimate realisation will be to never work again . to have the technology to do everything boring and mundane . leaving every human time to study science .... to progress humanity in to the cosmos

  • @djredi

    "Life and Intelligence must never stagnate, it must reorder transform and transcend its limits in an unlimited progressive process. Our goal is the exuberant and dynamic continuation of this unlimited process." - Max More

    Your thoughts seem technoprogressive. I encourage you to learn about Transhumanism and visit thoughtware (dot) TV

  • The world will be done by then.

  • lol

  • we already control the solar system because there is no life on the other planets in the solar system

  • in 2050 US will be a historic country

  • As long as Canada isn't involved or hit, I'm satisfied with your statement.

  • A computer telling me what I need?? I already hate youtube "suggesting" me videos for christ sake!

  • They tell the computer what to do so they don't have to........

  • in 2050 videogames will be u cuz they made a device that makes ur body play it if it was cod5 that would be bad so would spiderman cuz people would jump off buildings xD

  • playstation 9 lol

  • @vrshowdown

    haha!!! My 60 year old ass (well, I will be by then) will be killin my grandkids on the ps9

  • People die from technology, such as cars, but the net effect is that society is much more stable, affluent, and comfortable. Imagine living in dank hut in the dark ages, living a sickly life probably for only 40 years, staying within 50 miles of your home, no showers or baths, your whole life with no technology except the plow and sword. Likewise, in the future today's conditions will be considered very pitiful, mundane, and unenjoyable in relation.

  • @MadPutz

    Intel speaks of creating electronic devices by claytronics atoms, by 2048

    "With the shape-shifting technology, a mobile phone could shrink for unobtrusive storage in a pocket, then expand to a more convenient size when in use"

    now that's cool

  • @Serethen Just like on the Jetsons! :)

  • @MadPutz mankind have to stop and rethink some things.... new technology is not most important in near future... most people want some change...

  • The fact that you're on the internet means that you're pro-technology. If you want to denounce science, do so in your own territory.

  • lolz in My country (nepal) it's already 2064 almost 2065

  • cuz we r indian man india is ahead u r right almost 2065..

  • Comment removed

  • You know what sux, In 2000-3000 they made up a lot of events that would cause the end of the world. So the people in 2050 might not exist.

  • @s0ldier3sro that a fact

  • This is from IBM Research? Its just a bunch of Hollywood bores wisecracking! WHY, IBM, MUST YOU ALWAYS TRY TO BE HIP?!

  • imagine the world in 2050 people so big they will poopulate 'poop'  the world lol

  • WEIRD

  • And lets say we do happend to find and impliment something that is a renewable resource alternative to fossil fuel. What about the amount of empty space on earth that can support a civilization. Population is rising, not declining. Rough times are ahead, thats for sure. Its possible that our resources will run out before 2050.

    Do some research &

    Watch this video:

    -The Most IMPORTANT Video You'll Ever See

  • Why are we worried about what technologies there will be in the future? What about PEOPLE? The earth is becoming increasingly overpopulated, non regenerating resources are plummiting (such as oil, coal). I don't think we need MORE stuff to destroy the earth, all this new stuff will most definitely just use MORE resources! There is no escaping, even if we find alternate fuel... how much of IT will there be? Can we possibly indrustialize it throughout the nation efficiently? Think about this.

  • there already talking about computers that will have no screen you will hit a button and a projector type screen will pop up

  • I want to give up to 2090 at least.  Age 100!!

    Well, hopefully by then the technology in medicine will be superb. Hm, I think I'll be a cyborg

  • m planning for 115, 2101

  • Try to plan for as long as possible, If you were born in 1986 than you have a good shot at going for a really long time. Problably longer than 115. good luck

  • iphone will be a total joke in 2050

  • already is

  • imma kill myself in 2049 LOL

  • i will be 60 years old then

  • Totalitarian State and the New World Order

  • yeah scientists know too much for their own good lol. when they start tryin to put chips and crap in me thats when there will be a fight lol.

  • agreed.

  • World overrun by fanatical muslims by 2050. Thank god I'll be dead.

  • oh really?

  • Really

  • well good for u nobody fucking cares

  • the mian calinder ends and the Earth will be inline with the center of the galixy scientics think that that could cause it to spin in the oppicet direction

  • what would that meen ???

  • Good comment. there is evidence that the poles were located in different places on the globe at different times. It has also been suggested that there is geological evidence that the magnetic poles direction (180 degree) has shifted in the past. But no one knows for sure what will happen if they do shift again.

  • cool
